Thai Pizza

If you want a new twist on Pizza and change things up a bit from the usual pepperoni and mushroom, you will enjoy this recipe I got from my friend Betty. It is made with a peanut sauce and topped with chicken and veggies. I also really enjoy BBQ chicken pizza too, another great recipe that Betty gave me. The best recipes always come from friends and family that are tried and true.

Peanut Sauce-

1/2 cup natural peanut butter

1/2 cup hoisin sauce

1 tablespoon honey

2 teaspoons rice vinegar

2 teaspoons of fresh ginger, minced

2 garlic, minced

2 tablespoon sesame oil

1 tablespoon soya sauce

1 teaspoon sriracha (asian garlic chili sauce) or chili flakes

1 tablespoon oyster sauce

2-3 tablespoons water

Pizza-

enough pizza dough for 2 -12 in pizzas

2 chicken breasts cut into cubes

1 tablespoon olive oil

3 cups mozzarella cheese

4 green onions, sliced on the diagonal

1/2 cup bean sprouts

1/2 cup shredded carrot

2 tablespoon fresh cilantro, chopped (optional)

2 tablespoons dry roasted unsalted peanuts, chopped

Bring all the sauce ingredients together and bring to a boil. Simmer for about a minute.

Brown the cubed chicken in the olive oil if using fresh. Cook for about 5. Cool.

This is a recipe I got off the internet as a copycat recipe for California Pizza Kitchen Thai Chicken Pizza. The bean sprouts add a lovely crunch to the pizza as do the chopped peanuts. The sprinkle of chopped fresh cilanto after it is cooked is a must! You can take it up a notch by cooking this on the BBQ.( You may never go back to doing it in the oven again) One of our favourite homemade pizzas!

This was so good! I was in a hurry, so I did not bother to boil the sauce. I used a store-bought roasted chicken. Good thing a made one big one in a cookie sheet (there was plenty of sauce). It was nearly all gone for five of us.
